📣 WEEK 9 PBL FOCUS
This week at Granville Public School, our focus is:
Be Safe – Walking on Hard Surfaces
Students are learning that Being Safe means using **Wonderful Walking** whenever we move around the school, especially on hard surfaces.
You may have noticed some new signs and markings around our school. These are reminders to help students make safe choices and move safely between classrooms, playgrounds and learning spaces.
We are teaching students that:
• Hard surfaces include footpaths, concrete, asphalt, ramps and covered walkways
• Walking on hard surfaces helps prevent accidents and injuries
• Walking helps keep ourselves and others safe
• We should always use Wonderful Walking when moving around the school
Wonderful Walking means:
• Hands by your side
• Looking forward
• Moving quietly
• Walking directly to where you need to go
A key message this week is:
👉 There is a time to walk and a time to run.
Students are learning that:
• We WALK on paths, concrete, asphalt and around buildings
• We RUN on grass play areas, during sport, PE and teacher-directed games
Running isn't banned — it just belongs in the Right Place which is our grass area.
Throughout the week, teachers will be reminding students to:
• Walk on hard surfaces
• Follow instructions the first time
• Keep themselves and others safe
• Be in the Right Place at the Right Time
💬 HOW FAMILIES CAN HELP
Talk to your child about making safe choices when moving around school and the importance of walking on hard surfaces. Ask them to explain what Wonderful Walking looks like.
